Take a look at www.wheelskins.com. They have a fairly wide variety of high-quality steering wheel covers.

Too pricey for moi thanks

Ultimately, I'm looking to replace the one on my steering wheel.
It is quite stiff -- as in, a miniature rubber tire with a grippy top covering.

Love to find a duplicate as this one lasted 15 years (on a Camry b4)!

You can probably find an inexpensive one at the big-box auto parts stores. I bought one many years ago for my 1999 Ram. I believe it came from Advance Auto Parts and I remember that it was less than $10.

Thanks for your advice!
Not looking for a real cheapo either.
Don't much care for those flimsy pull-over covers.
I much prefer the stiffer ones ..which are most difficult to find without also breaking the bank.

The one that Roy7777 had on his car might be the ticket. But I need to find it first..

Some things are actually worth paying the extra dollars- the "Wheelskins" are one of those. I've installed these on the last several cars I've owned, and will continue to do so, as they are truly the best value, providing that unmatched tactile feel of the wheel. But they are quite a job requiring patience to install. Jus my 2 cents...

Default F Sport steering wheel direct swap

I also find leather steering wheels to be more comfortable, especially on long drives. Awhile ago I happened across an F sport steering wheel from a 2014 RX350 at a local salvage yard. It was a straightforward direct swap, no splicing or rewiring needed (applicable to years 2013-2015). The grip surface is nice and the paddle shifters are actually functional even with the different auto.

I purchased a stitch-on cover from East Detailing, for about $60. Took a while to install (not difficult, just time consuming), but it looks and feels great.
